Liverpool will be compensated for injury to Gerrard for his country

Liverpool Gerrard

Again it is the English game who takes the pole position as far as decisions are concerned: the English Football Liverpool indemnify the injury suffered by Steven Gerrard in the friendly match on Wednesday faced the Pross with French national team. The figure is not negligible: 584,000 euros will go to the Anfield club's coffers by the hamstring injury that will keep the Liverpool captain away from the pitch for a month.

It is not trivial matter: the burden of matches on the international calendar is a matter of debate within FIFA, and FIFA named virus, referred to the players suffer injuries in international matches with your selections, brings head general clubs and coaches in particular, who are deprived of training in conditions matches with the entire group, if not become injured. "Economic compensation compensates the loss of their players? Obviously the club will feel more relieved, the coach, much less.

The FA has set a policy that will cover any injuries to players on international commitment, which will be paid the salary for the estimated time low of each player, namely, 140,000 euros in the case of Gerrard for each week low. Recently, the European Club Association (ECA) asked UEFA and FIFA, and participating in shaping the international calendar, the creation of an insurance policy respective to the potential injury to players with their national teams. The English FA has been the first to take the necessary steps for creating this system of compensation.

The clubs are a lot of money in hiring and wages of its players, an investment that is sometimes in contrast to the injury of his players in matters outside the club, such as international commitments. Clubs, seen as a football business increased commercialization, lose assets in movements outside the guidelines of the company, and therefore seek compensation to offset that loss. However, soccer is not a market or prevailing law of supply and demand, but have a sport where victories and defeats, and almost as long as there is football soccer national teams and international competitions between different countries. There was always international and injured parties, but never moved so much money in football.

Injuries are part of the sport and an international meeting these problems can happen, whether official or friendly. And what player does not like to represent your country and play games so high substance if we take the point of view of player?. Understand this system of policies in those cases where the players come with their teams despite being recent injury or medical services your club does not recommend the accumulation of minutes when it might be predictable to a possible injury. Gerrard is the case, and that Liverpool agreed with the captain Fabio Capello did not play network over an hour, however, started and left the field in 85 minutes, and injured. In these cases I do agree with the system of policies, but no general rule.

With the introduction of this system by the FA, many federations will take note and will be studied to establish a similar system. The RFEF is possibly one of them.
